Reasons for Deportation

Common reasons for deportation may include:

Overstayed visa
False claims of U.S. citizenship
Violations of immigration law, including marriage fraud
Aggravated felony convictions
Firearm offenses
Domestic violence charges
Crimes involving moral turpitude
Other immigration law violations

Cancellation of Removal

Cancellation of removal allows certain individuals to adjust their immigration status from “deportable” to “lawfully admitted for permanent residence” during removal proceedings.

The three primary categories of cancellation of removal include:

Cancellation of Removal for Permanent Residents (Form EOIR-42A)

This option applies to lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) who meet specific eligibility requirements, including:

At least 5 years as a lawful permanent resident
At least 7 years of continuous residence in the United States
No aggravated felony convictions
No prior removal relief granted

Cancellation of Removal for Non-Permanent Residents (Form EOIR-42B)

This relief may apply to non-permanent residents who satisfy the following conditions:

At least 10 years of continuous physical presence in the United States
No disqualifying criminal convictions
Proof of good moral character
Evidence that a qualifying relative would suffer exceptional hardship if removal occurs

VAWA Cancellation of Removal (Form EOIR-42)

VAWA Cancellation of Removal, also known as special rule cancellation of removal, applies to certain spouses and children who have suffered abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident parent or spouse.

Removal Proceedings

Removal proceedings, commonly known as deportation proceedings, generally involve the following stages:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issues a Notice to Appear (NTA).
The immigration court schedules an Initial Hearing (Master Hearing), where DHS explains the basis for deportation.
The court conducts an Individual Hearing (Merits Hearing), where evidence and testimony may be presented in support of relief from removal.
The immigration judge issues a decision regarding deportation or available immigration relief.

Both you and the Department of Homeland Security have the right to appeal the immigration judge’s decision before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

If the appeal is denied by the BIA, you may further appeal before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

In certain cases, additional appeals may be filed before the United States Supreme Court.
